Causes include medial fibromuscular dysplasia, portal hypertension, multiple pregnancies, penetrating or blunt abdominal trauma, pancreatitis, and infection. Hepatic artery aneurysms occur in more men than women (2:1).

Two uncommon conditions called Marfan syndrome and fibromuscular dysplasia (abnormal growth or development of the cells in the walls of carotid arteries) may also cause narrowing of the carotid arteries.

The risks for stroke secondary to carotid dissection include a history of disorders that cause weakness of the blood vessels, such as Marfan syndrome and fibromuscular dysplasia.

Renal artery stenosis can also affect young women who have a condition known as fibromuscular dysplasia, which causes the walls of the arteries to become thicker. Both conditions are often associated with high blood pressure.

of the kidneys, most often due to artherosclerosis (accumulation of cholesterol in arteries resulting in their hardening.) In younger women, the condition may arise from structural abnormalities of the arterial wall called fibromuscular dysplasia.

It occurs in less than 5% of all patients with hypertension. Narrowing of the renal artery reduces blood flow to the kidney. Stenosis is most often related to atherosclerosis but may be caused by other maladies such as fibromuscular dysplasia ...
